Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises a wearable device, a headset, a camera, a watch, a display, or a multifunction device.

3

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises at least one of an audio interface, a graphical user interface, or a physical interface configured to receive the indication to establish the communication link with the at least one other device.

4

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors and memory are configured to receive the indication to establish the communication link with the at least one other device from a mobile device in communication with the device.

5

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the communication link is established over an ad hoc point-to-point network link between the device and the at least one other device that does not include any intermediary devices.

6

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors and memory are configured to identify, to the user of the device, at least one of a proximity or a direction of the one or more other devices within the communication range of the device.

7

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors and memory are configured to identify, to the user of the device, information about a user of at least one of the one or more other devices within the communication range of the device.

8

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors and memory are configured to transmit one or more audio signals to the at least one other device using the point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication link.

9

9. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors and memory are configured to use the point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication link to cause the at least one other device to provide one or more audio signals.

11

11. The first device of claim 10, wherein the first device comprises an audio device, a wearable device, a headset, a camera, a watch, a display, or a multifunction device.

12

12. The first device of claim 10, wherein the communication link between the first device and the second device comprises a communication link other than a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication link.

13

13. The first device of claim 10, wherein the communication range comprises a range within which the first device can establish a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication link, and wherein the second device is outside the communication range of the first device.

14

14. The first device of claim 10, wherein the at least the portion of the one or more audio signals comprises audio signals associated with a right audio channel or audio signals associated with a left audio channel.

15

15. The first device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors and memory are configured to synchronize the at least a portion of the one or more audio signals transmitted to the at least one third device.

17

17. The first device of claim 16, wherein the first device comprises an audio device, a wearable device, a headset, a camera, a watch, a display, or a multifunction device.

18

18. The first device of claim 16, wherein the communication range comprises a range within which the first device can establish a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication link, and wherein the second device is outside the communication range of the first device.

19

19. The first device of claim 16, wherein the first device comprises at least one of an audio interface, a graphical user interface, or a physical interface configured to receive the indication to establish the communication link with the at least one second device.

20

20. The first device of claim 16, wherein the first device comprises at least one speaker configured to output the one or more audio signals.

22

22. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 21, wherein the communication link is established over an ad hoc point-to-point network link between the device and the at least one other device that does not include any intermediary devices.

26

26. The method of claim 25, wherein the communication range comprises a range within which the first device can establish a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication link, and wherein the second device is outside the communication range of the first device.

27

27. The method of claim 25, further comprising synchronizing, by the first device, the at least a portion of the one or more audio signals transmitted to the at least one third device.

29

29. The method of claim 28, wherein the communication range comprises a range within which the first device can establish a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication link, and wherein the second device is outside the communication range of the first device.

30

30. The method of claim 28, wherein the first device comprises at least one speaker configured to output the one or more audio signals.
